Pay day today, and the day of my review at work. And the review went well. And the number of cases of coronavirus is falling. Sounding like a good day!
Shares are doing alright too. I took some of my pay day money and put it in a fund, which spreads it across a load of international tech stocks. So far it has fallen slightly, ah well. The others are mostly not falling though, so not bad.
I nearly bought myself a new office chair today for the study, but didn't want to fall into last month's trap of going mental and spending all the money at the beginning. I bought some books for the boys, and some wine for me, but will try and hang on to the rest of the money until the end of the month.
I have opened a nice bottle of the wine for later, AND I got a nice surprise of a box of free beer from Curators of Craft 1. They are advertising on popbitch this week, it must be related to that. I got six very interesting looking large cans, five IPA and a porter. They're all my favourite style of can, where there is a label stuck on a silver can, instead of printing directly on to the can. It looks illicit and homebrewish. They're all a bit strong, but I'm sure I'll cope... oh yeah dryanuary is over.
Went on the treadmill at lunch today. Was going to wait and go actually out, as it was looking lovely earlier. Glad I changed my mind as it's colder and getting a bit grey. Not confident we will see any snow, though Clare is still worried at the prospect.
Gigiversaries for today, nice and round, Doves twenty years ago today, and Northern Uproar twenty-five years ago today.
